Is affected by 20-hydroxyecdysone based on proteomic studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: AMP-dependent synthetase/ligase; AMP-binding enzyme; AMP-binding enzyme, C-terminal domain; AMP-binding enzyme C-terminal domain; AMP-binding enzyme, C-terminal domain superfamily; and ANL, N-terminal domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
acs-1 and
acs-2. In C. elegans,
acs-2 is involved in fatty acid metabolic process.
